I have to tell you right from the get go that I love vampires, werewolves and the like. Not so taken with zombies, however. I just finished reading a novel by Clay Gilbert, Dark Road to Paradise. Previously I read Anne Rice, Dean Koontz and Steven King to get my fix for all things that make me shiver with delight-despite the fear.
This book is refreshingly different in many respects. The author’s main character takes you into his arms and waltzes you through a love affair that alters your senses and heightens your expectations. You find yourself standing with him against those of his kind who are vicious and depraved. There is virtually something for everyone between the pages.
Clay Gilbert does not recreate vampires, he transforms them. No they do not sparkle, not do they glow. They come to life in a way that I, at least, have never experienced…despite my extensive reading of the genre`.
Jealousy, spite, revenge…are present in this read. Love, loss, hate, retribution and envy are also expertly represented. This novel is a cornucopia of senses.
Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. You can find it on Amazon or order it from PDMI Publishing LLC. I am willing to bet that you will find yourself anxiously awaiting the sequel.
